Recently, Mijo has been mentioned repeatedly as a good source for Arabic audiobooks.

What accent do the speakers have?

Sounds Gulf to me. Very nice MSA, though.

Excellent MSA with slight Gulf accent. The only people who read better than him, i.e. no accent at all, are probably news broadcasters.

I'm afraid you both got it all wrong. The speaker is Egyptian.

Listened to it again more carefully, yes, he is Egyptian.

Too bad he hasn't read anything new since March. I really wish he would read more contemporary books like عزازيل, but he may run into copyright issues.
